Web and Digital Design
The Digital and Web Design pathways give students an introduction into careers with common knowledge and skills related to the preparation for careers that create, use, modify, and engage technology skills. Graphics, multimedia animation, web design, game and application development, networking, and computer repair are all possibilities.
Throughout the three courses of the pathway you will learn about employability skills, programming languages, how to use software programs for graphics design, and how to create animations.
Course 1: Introduction to Software Technology
The first course covers topics such as professional communication skills (oral, written, and digital), programming languages, software development, app creation, emerging technologies, ethical and legal issues, and user interfacing applications are all taught in a computer lab with hands-on activities and project-focused tasks. Students will engage in hands-on learning utilizing Microsoft Office to produce business documents, Earsketch and Notepad ++ for coding, and App Inventor for app development.
Course 2: Digital Design
The second course covers topics such as creating documents through Microsoft Publisher, basic introductions to Adobe Creative Cloud, and camera/video basics. Students will learn about emerging technologies, ethical and legal issues, marketing with design principles/color theory, graphic design, graphic alterations, and camera/video basics. Students will engage in hands-on learning utilizing Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Spark). Students will also learn camera shots and basic video production.
Course 3: Web Design
The third course covers topics and production in programming languages such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Python. This class will allow students to put all their knowledge together. There is an end of pathway test that will give the students a certificate as a Site Development Associate. This test is all about HTML and CSS site development.
FBLA is the Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for this pathway. Students will have opportunities to compete with other schools in the state and nationally. This CTSO also serves as a networking platform for students and offers scholarships for college.
